I'm in Sellwood and was shocked to see there were still a few tents around the perimeter of Laurelhurst Park. Those would get reported immediately and wouldn't last here.
That’s my favorite park! I live close in that area in Portland. I’m in SE on hawthorn street. I moved here in August. I love Portland, mainly for the food. The food is incredible and healthier choices. I’m within reach to everything I need and even more. I’m very happy with where I live in Portland. It’s beautiful especially in the fall.
Portland also has a lot of creativity and the arts, and entertainment which is another reason why I moved. Added to that I was able to find a space to rent in a big house that has 3 to 4 floors for only 600 a month. That with being on the street of hawthorn with all the food and entertainment on that street. I can’t complain.
I loved living in Portland, so much do do and my rent was pretty cheap, but now I bought a house in Gresham and it’s nice having my own place and a yard
I moved to Portland in the late 90s and stayed until 2013. I moved to NYC for 6 years and came back in 2018, and it's been a struggle ever since. It's so expensive. My partner had to move away for work and went back to Peoria, IL, and I've been living with my parents for a while. I can't afford anything by myself, and for higher-paying jobs, you're having to compete against hundreds of applicants. I've decided to move away to Illinois as well where there cost of living is less expensive.
Come over to the Westside of PDX. I moved to Portland in 2004 from Berlin. I lived in the Buckman neighborhood for over a decade, than other areas on the Eastside, including NE and N Portland/ St. John’s. It is such a significant difference on the Westside. I now live in Hillsdale where I feel much safer. My car was stolen, my home invaded since the pandemic on the Eastside, hence my reason for relocation. I am European, born and raised in a metropole like Berlin. I never thought I would prefer to live not totally in the inner city. I am still in Multnomah county but walking 500 feet I am in WA country, which has much better tax rates and better school ratings. By moving here something else very bewildering happened. My credit score went up significantly plainly by change of address. I also have a lower car insurance rate because over here on the Westside there are by far way less theft activities. Yay for me!!!
First of all, welcome!! Secondly, I’m so glad you found a safer area where you feel at home! The car theft and home invasion sounds like such a nightmare!! Thanks for watching 😃❤️🌲
Man, you are mobile😅, just keeping up with you is a head spinner. I'm glad things are looking up in your home town. There is always growing pains in life and new laws are no different. As always,,good content and vibes from you. I'm in Mexico City right now, enjoyed Dia de los Muertos in Amecameca with views of El Popo.
The question more than anything would be if you see yourself returning to your hometown, if you imagine yourself settling down and having a life there with your wife, since sometimes priorities change as we mature and learn from other places as we travel and stays in other cities or countries, the needs change according to our mental and physical growth, in addition to the fact that we always look for the best options to live in places where we are happy and feel comfortable. PS Portland always been one of the cities i always thought was the best for people and who everyone wanted to be there as u mention many in Cali are moving there recently but yes the places looks great and that neighborhood looks great. Cheers and excellent content .
I moved from NE Portland in April. Moved over to Beaverton in Washington County. It's such a difference over here! There are very small pockets of vagrants and crime but it's nothing like Portland/Multnomah County.. I was here 2 mths before I even saw a homeless person! My car insurance actually went down $40 a month when I moved. Portland is a sh*thole.
Glad you found a better spot my friend!! Long ago I also lived in NE Portland and it was rough back then… now it’s borderline unlivable. I get super depressed even visiting the area. Thanks for checking out the video and all the best to you!
Portland has gone downhill with high crime and drug addiction. Move out to the suburbs where it’s significantly safer. It’s sad what’s happened throughout the city.
8;24 Buena pronunciación teacher! 👏👏👏 Me quedé esperando la playa! 😂 Me gustaron los colores de los árboles, pero igual que tu, NO gracias... prefiero mi México 🙈 Saludos!
Gracias corazón jaja sigo mejorando la pronunciación 🤓. Y créeme, casi no aguanto más días sin voleibol, sol, mar… caguamón! Ya sabes que volveré pronto pero muyyyy pronto 🏐 🏝️😎. Abrazo!! Y me imagino que Monterrey es una maravilla compared to Portland 😅
@theropemonster Siiii la playita es lo mejor! Monterrey es un desierto convertido en una maravillosa ciudad industrial, acá se mueve mucho dinero para todo el país y hablamos con un acento muy chistoso, parecemos enojados jajaja pero no, somos muy divertidos! Acá es extremo, en un día puede llover, salirle sol, llegar a 40 grados y en la noche hacer frío! 🤪🤪🤪
@@theropemonster Cuando gusten venir Ana y tu, aquí los apoyamos en lo que podamos, aunque sea un fin de semana, no hay mucho que hace... O si?🤔 dicen que cuando vives aquí no valoramos nuestra ciudad rodeada de montañas a donde llegan muchos extranjeros solo por eso jeje Pero bueno, mínimo está La Huasteca que creo es más tu estilo extremo!
Hello. While I truly appreciate your walking tour of my neighborhood (life long), I have to tell you that when you are south of Stark Street, beyond the arches you showed, you are not in Laurelhurst any longer. Stark is the southern border of Laurelhurst. Thank you
Forgot to mention that I am in 2 neighborhoods Neza and Granjas. Technically Neza is a city within THE City. But definitely not gentrified areas and not as glamorous as where you were. I have family here so that makes it nice.
Family is everything and more than makes up for the lack of glamour. That’s the only reason I ever come back to Portland… spend quality time with family and then get back out 😎🇲🇽🏝️. As always, thanks for supporting the channel my friend, abrazo y saludos a tu familia!!
@graceg3250 Nezahualcoyotl is arguably the largest part of Mexico City, it is east of the airport and on the north of the city. Granjas is about 5 minutes straight south of the airport and super close to palacio de los deportes.
Exactly. I think a big issue that I don’t hear people discuss is the asset managers like Black Rock and State Street along with Berkshire buying up all the single family homes and manipulating the market. Not much we can do about that unfortunately. Except live in Ecuador or Mexico 🇲🇽❤️🏝️. Thanks for supporting the channel as always my friend!
WOW ... I used to go to Portland back in the late 80's and Bellingham WA Had great restaurants and bookstores, lot of activity Things went downhill for years after that but it looks like it coming back UP now That is a good thing, I can relate to the NW, we think alike ! Unlike the SE, Florida etc- that sucks totally now, headed into the toilet I'D move to California, have family there, lots of blue collar jobs too
Thanks for sharing that my friend! I have also considered an off-grid property in Northern California… at least for part of the year. Definitely a positive to see things improving here but I’m just not ready to live in the US again and might never be! All the best to you and yours and have a beautiful holiday season 🦃❤️
You have to realize being in Roma for us as Americans. We have more money than the average Mexican . Now for a cal teck graduate who works in a 7 or 8 figure career, his view of those 750 to 1 million is the same as when were in Roma .
I hear the F slur on a pretty much daily basis in Portland. Personally I don't file that under better. I'm witnessing the difference between liberal/permissive and truly progressive. We have to think about prejudice, discrimination and bigotry.
@@avengemybreath3084 great question! Tbh, Portland proper would be a struggle and challenge your mental health potentially. Certain suburbs, like Sherwood, would likely be your better option. Thanks for watching!

I agree it’s turned into crime ridden crap hole.
Thats because they push all the homeless to portland. Washington county can suck it the cops there are douchebags

What you can't hold your own towards some hunch backs? Pathetic. May you follow Jesus so God will be your shield.

Looks like a cool place but like the rest of the country you have to be rich to enjoy it and to buy a home. At one time those house were affordable.
